Bonesmith by Nicki Pau Preto

3.0

I am on my KNEES, CRYING SCREAMING AND BEGGING Goodreads to implement a more nuanced rating system. Bonesmith fell short of a 4 star read for me, but 3 stars just feels…wrong.

I loved the concept of this book. The lore, the magic, the houses. But the villain(s) came across a bit flat, the twists somewhat predictable. And the info-dumping throughout the first hundred or so pages? Shoot me.

BUT but but. The characters are endearing and the pacing kept me glued to my seat, and I have a lot of faith in this author after Crown of Feathers, so I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for the sequel.
